Before The Law Before The Law Before The Law Before The Law I want to enter into the law, I want to see what's beyond I want to enter into the law, I want to see what's beyond It is possible, but not now If it tempts you so much, Try it in spite of prohibition. I am only the lowliest keeper From room to room stand gatekeepers More powerful than me "I've not expected a lot of troubles The law should be accessible for everyone It would be better to wait for permission The gatekeeper can't let me inside yet" Before the Law there is the keeper Prayers and corruption don't serve us with the justice We are always guilty before the Law No one has faith in the law During the many years The man watches the keeper continuously. This one seems to him The only obstacle to enter this gate. Before the Law there is the keeper Prayers and corruption don't serve us with the justice Everyone's guilty before the Law No one has faith in the law I want to ask you one thing more I want to ask you one thing more I don't have much time to live I want to ask you Before my death No one has faith in the law No one has requested entry here The keeper shouts at him Here no one else Can enter since this gate is only for you. I'm going now to close it forever The man at the end slowly fades away Before the Law there is the keeper Prayers and corruption don't serve us with the justice We are always guilty before the Law No one has faith in the law
